● Resolve "Retirement Financial Anxiety" with Dividend Stock Investing!
According to a survey conducted by Co-op Kyosai (which operates "Co-op" nationwide) in November 2025, approximately 90% of Co-op Kyosai members responded that they "feel anxious about money in retirement." The average monthly pension benefit is about \140,000 for Kosei Nenkin (Employees' Pension Insurance) and about \50,000 for Kokumin Nenkin (National Pension). Since living expenses exceed this amount, there is a monthly deficit with just the pension. Coupled with rising living costs due to inflation, the shortfall indicated by the "20 million yen problem for retirement" is thought to be expanding further.
As a solution, author Haito Taro advocates "dividend stock investing." Dividend stock investing is an investment method where you buy and hold company stocks and receive dividends distributed by the company based on the number of shares held. With \100,000 per month in dividends in addition to your pension, you can achieve a financially and mentally comfortable retirement.
This book explains the steps to reach \1.2 million in annual dividends by maximizing the benefits of tax-free, unlimited dividends using the growth investment枠 (lifetime investment limit of \12 million) of the new NISA, and by utilizing three engines: "dividend increases by companies," "reinvestment of dividends," and "additional investment with personal funds."
● Q&A to Resolve "Anxieties" and "Worries" about Dividend Stock Investing
Many people who are interested in dividend stock investing hesitate to take the first step, asking questions like, "Is it okay to start when stock prices are high?" "Is it too late to start in my 50s?" "Is investing \10,000 a month meaningful?" Even after starting, they face numerous dilemmas such as, "I can't concentrate on work because I'm worried about stock prices," "When should I take profits?" and "Which stocks should I choose?"
This book addresses these questions and anxieties related to dividend stock investing in a Q&A format, based on the author's 20 years of practical experience. It shows common pitfalls for beginners and concrete ways to overcome them.
● Thorough Examination of 21 Selected Stocks Strong in the Era of Inflation and Rising Interest Rates
This book provides a detailed analysis of "points of interest" and "dividend trends over the past 10 years" for 21 stocks carefully selected by the author. The selected stocks cover a wide range of industries, including megabanks that benefit from rising interest rates, general trading companies resilient to inflation, and manufacturers with global brand power.
Japan is currently transitioning from deflation to inflation, with prices continuing to rise. Not only are the prices of goods and services soaring, but living costs are visibly increasing due to factors such as rising interest rates and the weak yen. This book focuses on companies whose stocks can turn these macroeconomic environmental changes into tailwinds.
Dividend stock investing can be used not only to prepare for the future but also as a "defensive measure" to protect your current lifestyle.
